a couple of updates means years.....and being forced again to restart the whole game...AGAIN? it's really frustrating

Why is anyone here blaming the Dev? It's people's fault that they drag on. If they do not produce update(s) in some reasonable time frame, you all need just to quit supporting them financially and that's it. Not just this Dev - ANY Dev.

Please excuse me, but I'm not a native speaker and didn't understand the half of your text. The games "Rerminus Reach 2" and "Granma's House On Top Are A Fulgide" didn't say anything to me. Google wasn't helping. So I can't say anything about these games and how good there're or if the devs even have the 15 days update release circles you mentioned.
Well, you clearly missed the point.
Btw: show me your game, please. I want to check if your work is as well as Nyx', and if you're faster. I presume you've 15 days update releases? I'm happy for you that you've so much time to pose scenes and your system is rendering DAZ graphics so fast. But let me see your work. Maybe it's good.

So then go play Grandma's House and stop whinging here dude...
1) There is no fee for this game and there are no deadlines. The dev is not beholden to your expectations.
2) The dev makes money through donations. Donations are completely voluntary. People donate because they want to. No one is forcing them... And donating does not give anyone any kind of authority to dictate how quickly the dev works.
3) Whether you donate or not, you have ZERO leverage over the dev. Absolutely none. They can stop or start projects as they see fit. You aren't owed shit. Complaining here does nothing except annoy everyone on the thread.

What a dumb argument. You are the kind of person with whom we can't comment or discuss anything.
People can be critical, appreciative, and outright hate something without having any capacity to produce the thing they complain about or praise.
It's not because it's free, or "pirated" that is takes away people's right to say what they want. When someone produce a story, or a game that you like and follow over the years, you are hooked up and have every right to give your opinion.
You can criticise a music without being a musician or knowing any instrument.

But when you're specifically complaining about the amount of time it is taking between updates the only way you can accurately criticise that is when you have experience of how long posing/rendering/coding takes. If you have no experience of that it just comes across as moaning for the hell of it which is rather poor when you're not paying for it.
Specific criticism about the game like the storyline, the changes Nyx has made from her plan when she started, and things like that are fine, and I have made those criticisms myself. But complaining about time between updates is not unless you can back up your criticism with proof that it should be done faster. And comparing games with updates of a few hundred renders to games with updates of a few thousand renders does not help arguments either.
Then why don't you just wait till it's fully finished? then you won't have to be restarting from the beginning every single time. I know some games don't have that issue while some others do.
Complaining, getting mad/angry etc isn't going to magically give you what you want. It isn't going to the solve the issue for you. Find another game then if this one makes you so angry.
Tons of completed games out there, tons of other games that don't have the "restart from the beginning after each new update" out there. If you just hang around here bitching, then clearly that is all you want to do.

Of course you can. All you need are valid arguments and strict reasoning. Knowledge of the matter is helpful, because you are then taken much more seriously if you have knowledge of what you are talking about.
So you're telling me that someone who has absolutely no idea how much work and time it takes can make claims about the rate of progress?

Yes, we can compare the games/devs between themselves. Some are slower and it's ok, but others are using it as an excuse to work less
Especially the Steam PC ports lol. Redfall, (I wonder if Red Falls got a name change cause of this) Gollum (which caused the company to shut down the development side) Star Wars Jedi Survivor, The Last of Us etc.And sometimes they're not even finished at launch
All games nowadays need Day one patches and such. Quick to rush shit out the door.

It's a special render from an early chapter before Val was introduced.

I love this game. I would love to see updates released as soon as I finish the latest. When I get impatient, I remember a few simple things:
I have been working on releasing my own game for (going on) three years without a single release. Why?
I had to learn how to use Daz.
I had to purchase hundreds of dollars of assets and then modify them.
I had to learn how to use Blender.
I had to find the right software for animations and then learn to use it.
I had to learn how to program ren'py.
I had to write the actual story and solve the problems that go with it.
All while, working a full-time job, raising children, maintaining a marriage, going to school, and living my life.
Now, I would argue that just about anyone could release a visual novel in much less time and with much less effort. It happens every day here on F95. But the majority of those visual novels are shit. Problems with the images, the programming, and the story overwhelm these developers.
So, when I see someone else that has the same life events and the same experience level, and they are releasing an incredible game like Intertwined, I am amazed and grateful.
